  • Is there a way to atomically add to a list and return its index?
    1 project | /r/Kotlin | 8 Dec 2023
    In Clojure, it is called an Atom. I created my own via AtomicReference and https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.collections.immutable. It works really well in Kotlin. It works especially well if you use tons of coroutines.
  • I had a great experience with Scala and hopefully it will get more popular
    10 projects | /r/scala | 11 Jul 2023
    So does Java! Also, kotlinx.collections is still not stable and I don't think they are intending to make it so any time soon.
  • Immutable lists, O(1) prepend/append
    1 project | /r/Kotlin | 10 Jul 2023
    If you want to have O(1) with prepend you use the LinkedList. You get a lot of functional benefits but also all of the downsides like no random access. You can use the https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.collections.immutable library to get O(log_64(n)). I haven't spent a ton of time on Tries so I might be a little wrong on that bound. BTW, these are persistent immutable data structures. At work, we use them inside of AtomicReference to roll our own Clojure Atoms.
  • What type of variable contains amutable list?
    1 project | /r/Kotlin | 5 Nov 2022
    This is why Kotlin refers to List as read-only, and not immutable, and has created a library for truly immutable collections: https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.collections.immutable
  • what is the best persistent collection library?
    5 projects | /r/java | 2 Sep 2022
    What I know is only based on this discussion. It seems that pcollections is really outdated and should not be considered.
  • A personal Kotlin guide for Java developers
    2 projects | /r/Kotlin | 24 Mar 2021
    If you want true immutable collections, kotlinx.collections.immutable provides them. They will likely be integrated into the language eventually with value classes and better immutability support.
  • Scala is a Maintenance Nightmare
    5 projects | /r/programming | 22 Mar 2021
    I could see this argument made with Clojure, but I don't really see what makes Scala significantly better at FP than Kotlin. Kotlin has an official persistent data structures library nowadays, and it's got lambdas and higher order functions.
  • What are your concerns and pet peeves about Kotlin so far?
    2 projects | /r/Kotlin | 18 Jan 2021
    It's not immutable, it's read-only, https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/collections-overview.html . I think that's a false assumption. But I get the point - immutable collections are not part of the std - for very good reasons. But we know each other, I assume that you will disagree :) For people who know what they want and know all the implications, there is https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.collections.immutable .
